I would even vote for not picking up anything other than what upstream is
doing. I much rather have more timely releases and updates, fastrack, and
maybe other RHN channels (eg. EAL), than using those resources for
extracurricular activities like DRBD packages, a centosplus kernel, etc...
ELRepo is pretty much the place nowadays for additional kernel modules,
kernel functionality and kernels. And there's RPMforge and EPEL that allow
contributions.
